Smart Tricks for a Quick Meal

1. Prep Ahead: Cut your vegetables the night before or during the weekend. This saves an enormous amount of time at the crucial moment.
2. One Pan, Less Washing Up: Choose dishes that you prepare in a single pan or baking dish. Think of traybakes or stir-fry dishes.
3. Short Cooking Times: Focus on ingredients that cook quickly, such as chicken breast, fish, shrimp, eggs, thinly sliced vegetables, or pasta.
4. The Magic of Spices: This is where TastyChef comes in! Good spice blends transform a simple dish into something special without the need for long marinating or opening many different jars.

Quick Recipe Ideas for Every Day

Lightning-Fast Chicken and Vegetables from the Skillet

This dish is ideal for a weeknight. All you need is chicken breast, your favorite vegetables (bell pepper, zucchini, onion, broccoli), and one of our seasonings.

1. Cut the chicken breast into cubes and the vegetables into even pieces.
2. Heat some oil in a large skillet or wok. Fry the chicken until cooked through.
3. Add the vegetables and stir-fry until tender-crisp.
4. Season with WINGMAN (Kip Kruiden) for a delicious, spicy touch. For an Asian twist, use WOK THIS WAY (Chinese Kruiden). Serve with rice or noodles.

Mediterranean Fish Traybake

For minimal cleanup and maximum flavor, a traybake is perfect.

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. Distribute fish fillets (cod, salmon) and pre-cut vegetables (cherry tomatoes, red onion, zucchini, olives) over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle generously with FIN-TASTIC (Vis Kruiden) and optionally some ZEST FRIEND (Citroen & Knoflook Kruiden) for extra freshness.
4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked and the vegetables are soft. Delicious with a piece of whole-wheat bread.

Work-from-Home Lunch in a Flash: The Flavorful Salad

Forget boring sandwiches! A quick, filling salad is easily made and perfect for a lunch while working from home.

1. Start with a base of mixed greens.
2. Add proteins such as cooked chicken (leftovers from yesterday?), canned tuna, hard-boiled egg, or chickpeas. For a perfectly seasoned egg, sprinkle with EGGCELLENT (Ei Kruiden).
3. Add some cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, or whatever you have in the house.
4. Finish with a dressing of olive oil, vinegar, and a pinch of LETTUCE EAT (Salade Kruiden) for a balanced flavor. Fast, fresh, and nutritious!

Batch Cooking for the Busy Week

Plan ahead! Cook a larger portion of a dish that keeps well over the weekend. Think of a large pot of chili con carne (delicious with HOLY GUACAMOLE (Mexicaanse Kruiden)), a casserole, or seasoned chicken for salads and wraps (use WRAP STAR (Shoarma Kruiden)).
